The 2011 DoubleTree by Hilton at Berkeley Marina US Windsurfing National Championships has opened for registration!

It's time to save some money and register early for what promises to be a spectacular regatta of Freestyle, Slalom, Techno, and Formula Windsurfing action in the infamous waters of San Francisco Bay this July 11 through the 16th. By registering early you can save some significant dollars as registering closer to the event start date will incur you some additional costs and with Slalom, Freestyle, and Course racing filling up the agenda you'll want to save those dollars for exploring the incredible cities of Berkeley and nearby San Francisco.

Did we say save money? Yes! In fact this year's title sponsor, The DoubleTree by Hilton at the Berkeley Marina, is located just steps away from the official event site and is offering competitors, and their families, discounted rates for staying at the Hotel. Act quickly however as rooms at these rates won't last long!

Calling all Techno sailors! The Nationals organizers have worked closely with the upcoming Techno Windsurfing Worlds Organizers to provide and incredible opportunity for sailors to prepare for the World Championships (July 19-24) by getting in some training time on San Francisco Bay prior to the Worlds. That's right the 2011DoubleTree By Hilton at Berkeley Marina US Windsurfing National Championships has Techno Divisions just for you! The Techno Worlds start 3 days after the Nationals wrap up so there is no better way to be ready than joining in! So get a leg up on your competition and put the 2011DoubleTree By Hilton at Berkeley Marina US Windsurfing National Championships on your calendar today.

Note to Techno Sailors - The DoubleTree By Hilton at Berkeley Marina is about a 30-35 minute drive to the Event site (Crissy Field) for the Techno World Championships so feel free to book your stay through both events if you would like. Staying at a hotel in San Francisco will likely be significantly more expensive. Unfortunately there is no Techno Charter Gear available so you will need to arrange for your own gear. There is however limited Starboard Formula charter gear still available. Contact Jane Morson
